Rodgers reportedly disgruntled, does not want to return to the Packers

[GreenBaySlacker]

Bad take.

Bull. He has been a top tier qb his whole career and hasn't been paid for it. Being top paid qb for only days each time he signs. And playing out his contract with class and integrity. He walked the walk.

When he says get him some targets. You , as GB brass, get him some damn targets. End of story.

GB brass is notoriously ego maniacal. 9/10 last 1st round picks going to defense. And the one on offense was Rodgers replacement. That's not acceptable. At all.

You people dissing Rodgers need your lips surgically removed from the franchises...... and hold them accountable for not building a offense around their first ballot hall of fame qb..... end of story.

I'd fire every one of them for running him off. No question about it. F'n fired

 

[longtimefan]

Why haven't they been back? They've basically competed for AFC supremacy every year since Tomlin has been at the helm and the reason why is because Big Ben isn't quite Rodgers or Brady.

They have however given him weapons and a defense HIS ENTIRE CAREER. Same CANNOT be said about Rodgers. Hell even in Big Bens waning years they still want him around. Rodgers is a MVP and they are hesitant to commit to him. Laughable



It is hard to win a SB, and the FO has shot itself in the foot and wasted many opportunities because they've been terrible at certain aspects of their jobs.

For as good a job as Gute has done drafting past few years (he helped erase a lot of the mistakes that TT had) he destroyed that positive value by that entire draft from last year.

According to you you want them to follow the Steelers but yet the Steelers have not had any success sense to Super Bowl loss to the pack

The Packers have had more success than the Steelers have so I don’t get your argument here whatsoever

 

[GreenBaySlacker]

Outside of not drafting an annual boom or bust wr at the bottom.of the first, or never getting a replacement for a 37 year old qb, what did they not do for Aaron Rodgers???

That's a one sided spin.

Tou treat any player the way GB treated #12, and they walk before the last contract hit the table. #12 walked the walk.

Now he wants out to finish his career with a superbowl somewhere else. Just like always, manning, and now brady.... gb is going to be sucking eggs watching Rodgers play hall of fame football for someone else now.

****** me off.

 

[XPack]

While we all don't have ALL of the information, it sounds like the Packers went to Rodger to restructure the contract and he refused. Which to me says they were willing to do something other then just push money out into the future for cap purposes.

I never said I wasn't in favor of reworking the timing of his contracted money, as long as it was cap only moves. I did say though, he signed a contract which paid him a boatload of money, there are 3 years left on it and if he is now saying "pay me more or I will retire", I consider that a **** move.

If Packers want to restructure the contract, then he's got some leeway to agree on how it's restructured. It's be naive to expect him to agree to all Packers favourable terms with no benefit to him. And that's where's it's at right now. We may not know the terms, but it's exactly where we are at.

If he had initiated the restructuring, I'd agree it's a **** move...but not currently.

What made him a villain in this was when a very conveniently timed, for just the right BREAKING NEWS effect moment happened yesterday, and EVERYONE in NFL circles INCLUDING GMs, openly talking about this MESS... dropped 6hours pre-draft.

And you assume Rodgers called the press about it? How naive!

Dang. And here I thought we just paid 3 of the top.offensive players in the league to plAy for us. Drafted an offense over the last 15 years that's reached a SB, multiple NFC cG, and made the playoffs almost every year. Also a few SI covers.

But that must have just been Aaron making everyone look better. The front office are all just dummys.

Same with our new coach. They were dummies.on that too. Just a bunch of dumb dummies who keep bumbling into manage finances and being a contender each year. Yawn...

 

[GreenBaySlacker]

If I was GB brass. I'd trade love. and one of the Smith's. Get AR a couple select pieces that excites him. This draft would've been the same method.

And pay the man. He should be highest paid qb in the league. For more than 2 weeks at a time, before dipshits like cousins, and trubisky make what he makes.... if he signs team friendly deals like he has. Then the team needs to make rodgers friendly moves in n #12s favor.... they haven't. He has 5+ years left, and had 7+ years left when we drafted love..... no excuse for that.

Green bay is blowing it in a historically massive way. In Hope's love is the next rodgers......... like investing in lottery tickets. Idiotic.

I still haven't heard what this team "did" to Aaron in any way, outside of intangible gripes and grievances fans have.

Using your own analogy, you want Gb to buy all their money on a single bet (aaron), vs spreading the net around for better long odds.

And again, this isn't madden, you can't just transact 2 sided business cause it's convenient for your team, no more than you can re up a qb anytime his feelings hurt bc another player got paid more than you a week after you signed.

Still don't know what this magical thing the brass can do is to fix this. Please tell us.

Lol. Just wait till #12 leaves. You are going to find out what Aaron rodgers brings to the table.

No more championship games for a while in GB. Aaaaaaaand SUPRISE!!! Aaron Rodgers will turn a team like Steelers or 49ers into Superbowl champs.....

Davante Adam's will fall off the map. Defense will be adding 5-10 minutes of play time to every game.

Just wait. Jordan love is no aaron rodgers. Sorry. He just isn't.

GB brass thinking they will just replace Rodgers with some option plays and stack the online and wr corps. When if they did that in the first place, he would've won the last two superbowls, and be starting for GB in Sept.

All I know is greenbay better fix this. Or get ready for some long winters.

Maybe, and if so, we will be there for it.

You? Sounds like the only reason you haven't burned your #12 GB jersey is because Rodgers hasn't vacated it quite yet.

Also, I know what he brings to this team. We All do. I LOVE Aaron. I loved Favre too.

but not more than I love the Packers.

What is the percentage of the Cap is Rodgers.?

I think its 20 right now.

So, you want it more??

Im.down...but then how do you sign baktiarhi, smith, adams, Jones, alexander.

Cant just say pay him and then rest falls in.

How would.it work?

Gute just freaking said..jordan has got a long way to go.

No one..NO ONE thinks jordan is ready, much less get us to the playoffs.

This is much more than that

Fact is.... Rodgers , with the team friendly fair deals he signed in the day one of his deals..... he plays through his deals ,leading by example.... and I'm sure he was promised some of the theoretical money he could have gouged GB for. SHOULD have afforded him some love in the free agent dept..... it hasn't.

Like Lewis. Value, player. Doesnt cost much, but gives Rodgers some real hall of fame caliber options and depth!!!!. Graham was a miss in greenbay. But that kind of effort to give Rodgers weapons, is needed..... instead he got 6x 4th rounders to develope for 4 years, ending up with a undrafted Alan Lazard starting #2 reciever. That is unacceptable. End of story.

Paying aaron Jones was a post Rodgers move. And Rodgers knows it.

 

[GreenBaySlacker]

Gute just freaking said..jordan has got a long way to go.

No one..NO ONE thinks jordan is ready, much less get us to the playoffs.

This is much more than that

Exaxtly.... much more.

This is strategic building of a team that will be fielding Alan lazard and a rookie.along with who at TE? And expecting #12 to pick up the slack.....again......

No Bahk? No problem Rodgers will make due......again......

He could be playing behind any online in the league. Have any wr corps he wants. But he stayed loyal.....

Through the flippin McCarthy years. Stayed true. And look at his super star supporting cast. Bahk, a 4th rounder that took 4 years to develope into a player worthy of covering Rodgers blind side. And Jones the 3red rounder who most of you brain scientists wanted to cut because he hit his foot the first 3 seasons of his career here.... and solid 2and round pick davante Adam's who has had the luxury of being aaron rodgers sole #1 option for more than half a decade....and they dominate....

Wheres the other cornerstone picks? Wheres our tony boselli, or Julio jones drafted teaming up with roddy white/ our davante Adam's. Who replaced Cobb/montgomery again? Who replaced Graham? When's the other book end tackle coming to replace Bulaga again?????? Come on man!!??!!

But like many packers wrs who play good enough to earn more money some place else, Always learn.....you dont look anything like you do in GB, with teddy Bridgewater's, or Jimmy garapolo's newest backup, throwing you the ball....

 

[Passepartout]

A lot of people think he was a spoiled rotten brat. But it could be more than in the having a say over in the team. As that he has been there for years. And needs to give him an opinion for the team. As he sees it. He does not come off as a brat. Just wants a say in things. Been there for a very long time.

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

He has 5+ years left, and had 7+ years left when we drafted love..... no excuse for that.

Green bay is blowing it in a historically massive way. In Hope's love is the next rodgers......... like investing in lottery tickets. Idiotic.

Come on man, at least get some facts right. Rodgers has 3 years left on his current contract, 4 when Love was drafted.

There is a reason that you start thinking about his replacement when a QB hits 35ish, not many last past that. Rodgers had a great 2020, no doubt. However, he was coming off a year where he seemed to be bickering with his new coach and 2-3 years before that injuries and squabbling with McCarthy. So what should the Packer do? Not prepare for the future? Why do you think the Pats drafted Jimmy G in 2014 with the 62nd pick?

Investing a late first round draft pick in a potential franchise QB is cheap as hell if it works out. Look at what the Bears, Jets and other teams have spent trying.

Was investing in Rodgers in 2005 like investing in a lottery ticket and thus idiotical too? It amazes me how short of a memory some people have of how Rodgers came to Green Bay.

How many NFL players have had a say in their team? Should the Packers consult with Davante and Bahk on moves? Does Jaire get some say in management decisions when he signs his new contract? Rodgers agreed to the terms of his contract for cripes sakes. I doubt there is a line in there that says "The Packers can't look for my possible replacement, until I say so."

I mean I get it, people think Rodgers is above all others because of how great of a player he is, but isn't that a slippery slope when you put 1 player that far ahead of 53+ teammates? Remember what happened when Favre got his own little locker room? You have to have lines and unless they make Rodgers a playing GM, I just don't see the merits of letting him dictate how the team is run.

How would.it work?

How it works is you drop one of those 1st rounders on a book end right tackle. You drop the #9 gary pick on a top tier wr..... You replace Graham with the next splash free agent. you actually use your 2nd round work horse rb, and draft a mid-round supporting group for him, instead of paying a stud RB... I mean I love jones skill set. His ypc is unreal. But every 2nd or 3rd rounder rb seems to have something special to bring to the table. I mean AJ Dillon is a player I want to see more of. And add a second bruiser. Let's have some 4.4 240 pounders for the change up. Thunder and more thunder. I mean you can do anything at rb...... with #12 at qb.....

But Alan Lazard will never replace a second all pro wr on this roster.

I was talking about how many years rodgers has left in his career. Not on his contract. He was 36 when we drafted Love. He hasn't shown any slow down. He has 6 years left at least at that point. And if say more ,barring big devastating injury.....

What is the percentage of the Cap is Rodgers.?

I think its 20 right now.

So, you want it more??

Im.down...but then how do you sign baktiarhi, smith, adams, Jones, alexander.

Cant just say pay him and then rest falls in.

How would.it work?

What's he rank on the Qb list , and what's he rank on the pay scale??? Consistantly his whole career he has been top 5 qb and barely top 10 paid. Maybe not even that at times.....

Never complained. Never pulled no power moves. Till now.

The offense around him is #1, going to get him hurt. And #2 be one davante Adam's sprained ankle away from no noticable name besides Mercedes Lewis, to throw to.

 

[GreenBaySlacker]

Don't take this the wrong way, but do you play a lot of Madden Football by chance?

No. I dont play madden.

I'm just using my common sense. When we drafted gary at #9. And paid not one Smith, but two Smith's an absolute fortune each, to all fill two positions.... that gross over compensation to the need of some good olbs. Cost us the highest pick we will have in rest of Rodgers career.... had two years with two 1sts, and all to defense..... so spent all that draft capital. And ted Thompson whole stockpile of cap space he saved for 5 years, filling 2 positions.... it's horrible fundamentals. Wasteful and risky. You spread that cap into 5 very good players if you draft gary. Or if you spend all your money on 2 olbs. You turn that #9 pick into a free 1st and 2nd or more, trading back. Or let the offense have that #9 for a 2nd wr stud.

Then to follow it up with Love? And spending every last dime they can scrounge up to resign a rb? And spend a 2nd on a rb last year?

Its like wheres the 2nd big weapon? And where the 3rd? I know where the 4th and 5th are. They are starting for us now.

Bulaga left, and replaced by mid rounder. Cobb/Montgomery leave? Replaced by mid rounders. Jimmy Graham leaves? Replaced by..... eh just promote lewis....

No Bahk? No Bueno muchacho...

Proof he never complained?? this could have been a monthly thing with him..but you dont know...yet only take his shaft..err side

As we learned, things dont get out of gb or rodgers unless they want it.

Stop saying the fo is all to blame.

Recall what MM said when matt was hired to aaron? Dont screw this up?? Well maybe it was true
